Having run marathons in Siberia, Yukon, Alaska and Iceland so far as part of a fundraising project called Running Dangerously, Jordan Wylie’s next challenge will see him journey across the frozen Arctic and Antarctic oceans to run marathons on the North Pole and South Poles in order to raise funds for the Matthew Bacon Bursary.
The Matthew Bacon Bursary Fund supports young Cadets who need help in making a step-change in their approach to life. Through participation in life changing adventures, young people are able to build new friendships and improve their mental health and wellbeing. Matthew’s parents, Roger and Maureen Bacon, set up the Matthew Bacon Bursary Fund in 2007 with the Army Cadet Force Association, after the loss of their Son, Intelligence Corps officer Major Matthew Bacon, a former Army Cadet, who tragically lost his life in Iraq in 2005.
